What gun is standard issue for cops in Los Angeles?

Question

I am currently writing a story and one of the characters is going to be a crooked cop, but i don't know what kind of gun or ammo they use (the main character is going to find a bullet and match it to her own gun, since she is a cop herself) But i need to know the specifics of it....like what kind of gun it is (i really don't know all that much about guns) and what kind of ammo is generally used. (i may change it, if i can find a different kind of ammo better suited for my main charcter, if it is compatible with the gun)

and possibly, if it is okay and i can be lucky enough to find one...if there is a cop out there in Los Angeles that wouldn't mind answering any questions that I have, please leave an email address that you would prefer i contact you by. Thank you for your help in advanced...
